Description

Bejeweled: Classic is an adaptation of the classic 2000 version of the original tile-matching Bejeweled game. While several other versions were already available for Android and iOS, this edition, based on the PC version, brings the original game to the platforms with some additions. It contains five game modes: Butterflies, Classic, Diamond Mine, Lightning and Zen. The game is free-to-play with in-app purchases to remove the advertisements and additional continues for the Butterflies and Lightning modes. The other three game modes can be played without restriction. After a Game Over it is also possible to watch an advertisement to receive 30 more seconds.

In the original Classic mode the player completes levels by reaching a score withing the provided time. Zen is similar, but does not have a time limit. Instead, it offers relaxing options such as ambient sounds, positive mantras and breathing modulation. All of these can be customized with multiple variants. In Butterflies the player needs to make as many matches as possible before butterflies, appearing from the bottom of the screen, reach the top. These butterflies have colours and can be matched with regular gems of the same colour. This game mode was first introduced in Bejeweled 3.

In Diamond Mine the regular board is complemented with gold, gems and artifacts for additional points. These are freed by making matches next to them. Just like most other game modes there is a time limit. Lightning is the last game mode. Here there are time gems next to the regular ones that can be matched to receive time bonuses. Like Butterflies, Diamond Mine and Lightning were also first introduced in Bejeweled 3. Lightning was previously also available as the game mode Speed in the original browser version of the game.

Most of the gameplay is typical for the series' match-three mechanics. There are also flame gems, star gems, time gems, hypercubes and supernova games. By performing well several badges can be earned and a custom profile can be created. There are global leaderboards, a ranking system, and an optional hint function.
